Considering: to buy or not to buy

I am just thinking if to buy iPhone or Asus MyPal A639. IPhone seems to have all the advantages, and it must be strange that such question has risen in my mind, but I ask it because of the high price of the iPhone, it's 800$ in my city (does it cost the same in yours?). And before buying such an expensive toy I'd like to consult those who have already bought it)))))

I looked through the forum and saw that there are a lot of people who are not happy with it, is safari really so annoying? And is it convenient to type on the iPhone, edit Excel documents? is it possible to read pdf, djvu, txt, html on it? Is there much soft on it, such programs as MathCAD (I really need it cause I'm a student))) Borland C?
